Country Lamp Shades
Rustic Lampshades

Of course there are different types of lamp shades for rustic cabins and lodges. Some have a rustic décor theme while others tend to be more western.

Choosing a lamp shade type will depend on your country style or décor and the theme that you have chosen?

Parchment lamp shades – These are probably the most common kind of country lamp shades that you will see. You can get plain parchment lamp shades, lamp shades laced with rawhide lacing and parchment lamp shade with hand painted designs. Parchment lamp shades are usually a neutral color.
Mica lamp shades - Mica lamp shades shine with elegance. They are usually hand made and they have an interesting natural texture. You can use mica shades with both western and rustic décor.
Metal lamp shades - Remember the old pie cupboards with the punched tin decorations (that let air circulate in the cupboard)? Metal lamp shades have an antique look and are also rustic lamp shades. They bring a unique sparkle to a room, with a touch of magic. You can get metal lamp shades in different metals: copper, tin and painted black metal.
